ValiSeek Overview

VAL401 is the reformulation of a clinical drug to enable use in the treatment of cancer. Preclinical data indicate potential use of the reformulated drug in lung, pancreatic, breast and prostate cancers.

Lung cancer has been identified as the most promising lead indication both scientifically and commercially. Many subsets of lung cancer patients currently have a high unmet medical need.

During prior clinical use, the active drug has been safely administered long term (chronic use of over 2 year duration) with good compliance reflecting the acceptable side effect profile.

As complete oral formulation, VAL401 will provide a potential cancer treatment with a good safety profile, with a clear route to market supported scientifically by the extensive history of the drug’s use, yet protected commercially by the detail of the reformulation.
